Trivia
George R.R. Martin cited this movie as one of the reasons he wanted Game of Thrones (2011) to be turned into a television series rather than a movie.

Goofs
Pantalaimon is able to transform into a small moth when he wishes. When he and Lyra are confined in the intercision machine, they are separated by a metal grid through which Pantalaimon in moth form could easily crawl: it is not clear what prevents him from trying this.

Quotes
Ragnar Sturlusson: Is that all?
[hits Iorek]
Ragnar Sturlusson: Is that all? IS THAT AAAALL?
[Iorek swings at him and breaks his lower jaw off, then bites him in the throat, killing him]
Iorek Byrnison: Yes, that is all.

Crazy credits
On the DVD, the FBI anti-piracy warning is displayed with the Magisterium logo and has the Magisterium building behind the warning as a watermark.

I remembered that I liked this movie when I watched it a while ago. But I did not remember that it was THIS good! The only reason for the far too low rating(s) that I can see is christian fanatics that finds ANYTHING resembling criticism towards the church as heresy, or people that have read the book(s) and find that this movie have deviated too far from the original. But for me, the acting, the plot, the visuals, the special effects and the daemons running and flying around, was amazing. If you as I am, are not a christian fundamentalist, or have read the book(s) and like fantasy, I really believe that you as well will enjoy this movie.
